Another amazing return visit to destress from a long working week.
Staff friendly and accommodating as always making us and the dogs welcome.
A perfect starting point for many superb Autumnal walks!
Food seemed even better than before and a lovely atmosphere in the bar, which was virtually full.
A family crisis meant that we had to urgently return home...

Looks good from outside. Open the door and the amazing atmosphere hits you! Such friendly staff. gorgeous open fire, good décor & simply gorgeous food !! Well used by many people enjoying the beautiful countryside. Very well worth a visit or stay. Can be hard to book via the phone as calls are sometimes not returned but dont let this...

Its a neat trick when a pub can feel welcoming and relaxing when you are the only customers there. This was us at the beginning of service on a misty November mid week lunch time. Food and service excellent.
We returned at 1830 on Saturday evening to find the pub packed out mainly with residents. Once again the welcome is...

An excellent pub with accommodation, ideally situated for those who want to explore north Exmoor on foot. The pub has excellent beers and delicious big portion food, both ideal for finishing off a days walking. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and as good as you'd hope for in an old country pub. Breakfasts are well cooked, substantial and have all...

We really enjoyed our stay in the Rockford Inn. We were warmly welcomed and the staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Our room was clean, spotlessly decorated and comfortable. The Inn is in a lovely valley with a small river running through and is excellent for walkers. Overall, it was great value for money and we'll certainly be...

Great establishment, fantastic location, and brilliant walks.
The Inn was characterful, our en suite bedroom was modern, and lacked nothing.
The food was excellent and all of the staff were very professional, - more than that, they were extremely friendly, always cheerful, helpful, and happy to oblige.
The Rockford is a great place to stay and the staff an asset...

Had a fab night at Rockford Inn, wonderful meal in comfortable surroundings. Chatted to staff and locals of which was lovely making our stay rememberable.
Bedroom, well decorated and cosy. Tasty breakfast !

This is our fifth trip back to the Inn because it's a real treasure and a great pleasure for us every time we visit (as we have said before in past postings, we only return to worthwhile destinations). As seasoned world travelers for many years, this Inn now our favorite place to visit when we come to the UK. And...

We decided to treat ourselves to 3 nights away at The Rockford to relax, recharge and enjoy the beauty of Exmoor which is becoming an Autumnal colorfest.
We are regulars hear having stayed over half a dozen times now and the hosts never dissapoint. A warm welcome with snug comfy rooms, good food and well kept local ales. What more...

Lovely pub very welcoming and the food absolutely stunning. It's simple pub food done exceptionally well and at very good prices. Will be going back very soon. Walked 4 miles to the pub for lunch then 4 miles back worth every step.
